, The fastest update to the latest chapter of the Rise of Rurik!

A large number of prisoners were escorted to the muddy square in York City.

The black mud here was sprinkled with bloodstains of the war dead, and the frightened people sat shivering on the ground. They saw a corpse piled up in a corner of the wall because of cleaning, and instinctively felt that it was their own destiny.

The child cried loudly and the woman cried loudly. The captured men were either grief or panic.

Standing in front of them was a large group of unkempt barbarians, many of which had exposed upper bodies and displayed terrifying tattoos.

The barbarians are Picts?

The captured people have different opinions. In their knowledge, only the northern Picts are scary and tattooed.

But they are not!

Everyone was surprised to see the queen, the young woman, like a walking corpse, following a man with a bald head and a tattoo in a daze.

Although the queen is unclean, she is now clearly a slave. The people sigh and worry about their fate~www.novelhall.com~Collect cash]Follow vx public. Public number [Book Friends Base Camp~www.novelhall.com~ You can also get cash!

This is not over yet, a group of barbarians have entered the city again.

These guys seem to be decent fighters. They are dressed in uniform white robes and blue stripes, but it is him that they are escorting!

Many of the captured kingdom soldiers stood up in astonishment, unable to believe that His Royal Highness was captured.

Originally standing on a high place, talking with his father-in-law Magnuth about how to deal with this large group of captives, Rurik, he noticed the captive's abnormal movement while looking sideways.

They became noisy when they were silent, just because Fraser and them came back?

Rurik turned around, and saw the archery master Frazer, not only carrying a crossbow, but also carrying a short boy in his waist.

"Is that a nobleman?" he said.

Magnut also turned around, pointed and said, "Your subordinates have caught a prey. I saw a deer."

"Maybe it's a noble deer."

Fletzer and the others didn’t know that they had just caught the first heir to the throne of Northumbria. He was looking for his master, and saw the dejected prisoner sitting on the floor again. The guy was also shocked and felt that his seizure had become meaningless.

He easily found Rurik standing high.

But that place made him feel uncomfortable.

It is a stone platform, and its role is probably to be a place for public execution of prisoners. It is unexpected that Lord Golden Lord and allies of Balmerk will give orders here.

"My lord, I'm back." The short boy who was **** by Binjiang was still on the ground. "Look, this is a nobleman."

Rurik looked at it and saw that it was true. Compared with ordinary children, this short-haired boy was too pampered.

"Who is he?" Rurik asked.

"I don't know. Maybe it's the prince."

"Hold on!" Rurik knelt down, staring at the shivering young man, and then asked in Saxon, "Who are you?"

"Eh... Ella."

"Ella? Are you Ella?!"

Rurik got up suddenly, smiled on his calm face, and said to Magnut, "It's fine now, we have caught their prince. Children will never lie."

"Is this bastard?" Magnuth glanced contemptuously. "You can be my slave."

"Whatever you want." Rurik shrugged and mentioned the conversation just now, "If you rule here, I will support it. Northumbria is so weak, I still dream of negotiating with them, and I don't need it now. . So, I want to take away most of the wheat in the city."

"Of course." Magnut patted his son-in-law on the shoulder, he was really satisfied with this arrangement.

Because in Magnuth's current knowledge, eating fish can survive, and there is no need to worry about the gains and losses of a large amount of oats. If it weren't for the Balmerks to start spring ploughing themselves next year, it wouldn't matter if all the wheat was given to Rose.

What he really cares about is the kidnapping of people, fields and pastures, cattle and sheep, and the mild climate here. And most importantly, gold and silver are soft.

As long as Maizi is the son-in-law, he can make this decision, and he must give something else.

If you act too greedy, the Balmerk brothers will criticize.

He said again, "I'll give you some other things. I'm not a greedy old guy."

"Ah, thank you so much."

After a while, Biyuni came in ferociously, and pinched the walking dead queen's neck, happily said to his father, "This is their queen, and I am now in possession of it. Haha, it's really glorious!"

"You!?" The eldest son's move surprised Magnut. "You are so good at it? I still want to..."

"Very young woman? Forget it. I am proud of the woman who conquered the king."

Then Queen Ella suddenly became irritable, and her trance expression became confident. On this platform that was originally used to execute death row prisoners, Anna met Ella and her mother.

Anna is not restrained, crying when holding her son, and prince Ella also howling.

Biyuni was also taken aback. He had no mercy and pulled the queen up again.

Anna was crying, begging the Vikings to save her son's life.

Rurik understood these words, and signaled Bijuni not to be rude, and then stepped forward, "You are the queen, I have seen you. You have served the subordinate of Ernred, you are an unclean person. If you are not the queen, you will be beheaded here!"

Of course Rurik knew that this high platform was the place of execution, and Biyunni said, "It's really meaningless for you to keep her."

"It doesn't matter. You still ask her where the king has gone. If I personally kill that person on the battlefield, it would be the greatest honor..."

"Also."

In order to survive, for mother and child to depend on each other, Queen Anna explained everything Rurik wanted to know. Now she doesn't care about worrying about the unreasonable king who abandoned his wife and son, or even being demoted to the monastery to make atonement. She also thinks of revenge.

The so-called defending general is Earl Grey Woolf, who is now missing. She also said that the main force of the kingdom's army fought with the Messiah army in the south, resulting in the emptiness of the country. Then it was described that the king's army was probably already on the way to rescue York.

Is it like this?

Leuric listened and hurriedly informed Magnuth, "Their main force is not here. We occupy York, and we are likely to face a decisive battle. Their king has an army of five thousand men, and it is likely to be coming. !"

Magnuth didn't care. "You said this? Wouldn't you be afraid?"

"How is it possible. I just remind our coalition forces to be vigilant. If the soldiers are indulged in treasures and are hollowed out by the women here, they may encounter setbacks. We must be vigilant!"

"It's okay!" Magnuth waved his hand and said, "It's time to deal with these prisoners. Yes, I don't want to kill, but some people must die!"

When Biyuni heard this, he immediately thought of his new slave girl. "This queen is already my slave, at least..."

Magnuth glared at his son again, "I can't think of hello, this woman is not young at all. Keep it as a toy. But, all the soldiers wearing the clothes of their kingdom army, they did not fight. After all, they are traitors! Traitors must die."

Rurik naturally didn't think Magnut's words were wrong, but he didn't want to witness the killing of the captives.

Rurik did not stop it at all, just because of the special nature of the war, the Russian army did come to looting, but the Balmerks planned to emigrate, just like the ancestors of the Northumbrians 400 years ago. Immigrated from Denmark, killed and expelled the local Picts, and laid down this territory. Knowing that the most capable men in this area are also their simple security measures for the new land occupation. Rurik now has no right to make any criticism, just because he did the same thing in the Eastern Land.

Magnuth picked twenty women from the captives and threw them to Rurik, in the name of making the brothers happy.

Pooh! Is this alright?

Rurik didn't think this was a good thing. He simply called John Invall who was accompanying him, and asked him to teach them to take care of these women.

Although they are all savages, it seems that the Ross people with white background and blue robes, at least they are not simple evil people. At least these people know what sacred faith is, but what kind of style does a young priest mix with a group of barbarians?

Women are incomprehensible, but since doing things well can even avoid being humiliated, don't resist and save your life first.

These twenty women became cooks directly, which really solved the problem of efficiency of the army's meal for Rurik.

The trolleys that Rurik brought are all in handy, and a large number of sacks filled with oats are already being moved intensively.

The wheat began to be transported to cargo ships, which is really a huge project.

Under the curtain of night, the Ross soldiers guarded the fleet and camped by the river. Everyone gathered around the campfire to eat cooked wheat and shared the joy of victory.

Naturally, some people questioned that Lord Duke was too benevolent, and actually allowed the Balmerks to win the most spoils. Some people also urged everyone not to talk too much, and they clamored that so many wheat games would be allocated again in Roseburg, but the whole family could eat for a year or two.

Even the cooks who cook are divided into large bowls of oatmeal, which are sprinkled with a lot of salt, and stirred into the seal oil, which is edible and lubricates the rope, and feasts on them.

This was a reward from Rurik, and he could see the skinnyness of this group of firewood girls. It was obvious that the daily life of their group of peasant girls was really shabby.

High carbon water, high fat, and high salt content are indeed fattening monsters for people after a thousand years, but for the poor of this era, it is really a delicious taste that can only be enjoyed by the nobles.

They are all Rurik's slaves, and it is not bad to bring them back to their hometowns to serve and daily life.

It's really because the old man chose ten little maids from Novgorod for himself. They are getting more and more beautiful. In a few years, they must exercise their responsibilities and will not be able to do any work related to servants by then. .

The camp of the Russ was quite stable. On the contrary, York was occupied by the Balmerks, and the city fell into madness.

After all, York is the capital of a country, more beautiful than Narvik Fjord. Magnuth deliberately indulges his ministry to looting, to toss all the captives, even if the men wilt him after being overjoyed, it doesn't matter.

Does arrogance inevitably lead to failure? At least not now.

Compared with the Viking army from afar, Northumbria's army is still too weak.

In the early morning of the next day, the riverside became lively.

A group of Balmerk soldiers escorted more than a hundred soldiers dressed in orange to the River Uss. They were **** with cloth strips, kneeling helplessly one after another.

After the uproar, Magnut personally ordered the execution.

These people are the last fighting power among thousands of prisoners. They didn't martyr for the kingdom, the Balmerks helped them die in dignity.

The dead body that fell into the river slowly drifted towards the ocean. What should be done with the remaining prisoners?

Magnuth did not hesitate to open a bargain in the city, and the captives were auctioned for sale. This is indeed something Vikings from all walks of life will do, and even caused commotion in the Ross army camp.

Rurik had to arrange another order, which was to prohibit his subordinates from getting involved.

The conquered people were then put on shackles, but many of them were actually the serfs of the lords and kings. If they simply changed their masters, their lives would never get worse.

Those women holding their children, no matter whether they obeyed or not, their fate carries the entire Northumbria national fortune, and a new era begins this year.

In the extremely noisy city square, Magnuth couldn't wait to raise his sword and become king.

Although Rurik felt the strange change of the situation, he took a group of entourage to participate in it, and then publicly announced that the Principality of Ross supported Magnuth's move.

According to the local people, he arranged for himself the title of "Konungr" in the Norse language. According to the Saxon language of the Northumbrian, it is also "Kuning", which is a more advanced concept than the "leader of the alliance." "Leader of All".

Most of the ordinary Balmerks support Magnut as the king, and there is no problem with Biyuni's succession.

At least, no young man dared to question Biyunni's contribution to the entire Balmerk. This man is a great hero among his brothers.

Then everyone was happy again.

At this moment, Rurik realized that the prisoners of war were beheaded early in the morning. In fact, the old guy couldn't wait for the sacrificial act of the king. It was offering a sacrifice to Odin!

The Kingdom of York, founded by the Vikings, was born on the wasteland of Northumbria? Just like what happened in history?

Rurik cared only to a limited extent. He now cared more about filling the cabin with wheat and then returning full.

But how can the locals support a barbarian to be the king? The real king must be approaching the city with a large army, and the people who want to be complacent still have a thought, that is, Ainred led the king to expel the barbarians and save everyone.

I had to look at the eyes of the locals. Many people's erratic eyes are not pure despair.

They still have hope that it is Ernred's army.

At night, the Ross people still stayed outside the city, guarding their fleet and trophies.

The noise in the city continued, and Arik was really full.

He threw away the half-eaten grilled fish, and grumbled to his old brother angrily: "That old immortal guy has to be king? Without our support, the Balmerks can't break the city."

Rurik's face didn't matter: "Magnu was killed soon."

"Oh? Is he going to die? He looks like he can live for a few more years."

"It depends on Biyuni. Brother, that man is very ambitious now. Only if Magnut is dead can he be king. Biyuni is not prestigious now, so..."

"Father-killing?" Arik was taken aback.

"Who knows? Brother, let's prepare first, I am very worried now."

"Worried that Bijuni will do it now?"

"No. It's Ernred and his army."

"What's to worry about?" Arik didn't care.

Rurik immediately probed: "They will see that the country is occupied, they will definitely go crazy. Now, I am afraid that it is meaningless to negotiate with Erinred. Do you desire a smooth killing?"

"Oh! I already understand..." Arik laughed slowly, then laughed again.

The situation was as expected by Leurick. An army of more than four thousand people composed of the king's division of Erinred and Garfred, Earl of Roydis, was constantly approaching York.

They did not dare to go too fast, entirely because Einred at least knew the horror of the Vikings, for fear that his rash attack would lead to a big defeat.

On the contrary, his cautiousness puzzled Earl Garfred, and it was strange to say that when he saw the dense spear forest like a forest, the fear in Garfried's heart disappeared.

In most cases of wars in this era, it is more powerful than the two sides, at least that is the case with the British rookies.

Ernred advised him not to become extremely psychologically inflated from worry.

Riding Gafrid thought that the king was encouraging himself to fight, so he threatened: "As long as we launch an impact, the brave assault of four thousand people will wipe them out."

Einred laughed embarrassedly, he did not persuade him, thinking that the earl wanted to make a great contribution.

Yes, when he ordered the charge, did Earl Garfred have the courage to charge himself? Pooh! When others die, he gets honor.

Ernred deliberately said: "Then I will appoint you as the captain of the cavalry, and you will charge with the cavalry. If you break the enemy, you will be the magistrate."

"Ah! This..." Garfred suddenly looked embarrassed, and randomly stopped talking.

"Well, maybe you want to secure the honor. But..."

"No!" Garfred pursed his lips and said, "I do! With this army, our army will win. I will raise my head and charge."

"Alright. Now I completely obey my orders. I can't leave if you are on standby. If you charge, you can't slip away."

Garfred knew that this was a family gambling, and when he was caught in the gambling game, he was thinking about the glory after victory, and directly ignored the horror of the Vikings.

After a long and arduous journey, many of the worn-out boots of the farmer soldiers marched barefoot. They do not succumb to their grievances, so that the army can still fight when it reaches near York?

They gradually discovered the village where the people ran clean, and saw a large number of weird big boats anchored in the river in the distance, and, York!

"It's my York!" Einred was shocked and his hair trembled, and everyone saw the buildings of the royal city.

The peculiar huge ship can only stay here steadily, all the big ships are flying flags, which reminds people of the Kingdom of Mercia, and York also has a lot of smoke and dust.

But that is not the banner of King Wiglav of Mercia!

That is the flag of the Ross people! The flag of Rose in the Vikings.

The army was on the right bank of the Maas River, just across the river from the Russ army camp outside the city.

"What to do? Your Majesty." Count Garfred asked.

"Let's not attack, we keep coming, I want to...talk to them. Those are the Roths, the only Vikings who can negotiate."

King Enred was obviously frightened. Garfred was quite disdainful in his heart, but he couldn't say anything, so he persuaded: "Negotiating? Your Majesty, with all due respect, quietly the current situation of York is clearly occupied by them. There must be people. Captured, we must save them on behalf of God."

"No!" Ernred still asked to remain calm.

But Garfred was still stunned by his meritorious service, and even looking at the king again, his eyes became ambiguous. Simply choked, "That unclean queen doesn't matter, but Ella..."

"Ella!" Einred woke up in an instant, almost snapped his teeth, and his head blushed instantly due to his anger.

"You!" he ordered, "Johnny Garfried Roydis. You take the cavalry, take your warriors, and attack them! Destroy their ship! Cross the river! Save my son !son!"

Only the safety of his son made Erinred, who was once very cautious and appeased, lose his mind and suddenly became a belligerent. Because the young Ella is already his last bloodline~www.novelhall.com~ All this was discovered by Rurik who had made some preparations, and the sun was also in the sky. This morning is really suitable for a big battle. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

The Ross people immediately made a loud noise, and the Balmerks throughout York City languidly got up to investigate what had happened.

Rurik has no fear on his side, and Arik is sharpening his sword even more.

"Finally came." Rurik, who was already on board, sighed in front of the approaching army.

"But they are stupid." Yevro said.

"No. They are very smart and seem to want to destroy our boat and swim across the river."

"But it's even more stupid."

"Yes. They are brave and reckless. They are sending to death, and we are perfecting them. I will let the First Flag Team cross the river and organize the shield wall to engage. We will keep shooting arrows on the boat. Take your brothers and get ready. Shoot, remember, no mercy."

"Yes."
